"Love Around the Corner": 64-year-old Zhu Yin plays the mother of 56-year-old Jiang Wenli, which makes the young actress feel good

"Love Around the Corner": The casting of domestic dramas was complained about, and the embarrassing plot caused heated discussions

Recently, a TV series called "Love Around the Corner" has attracted widespread attention, but this time it is not because of its excellent plot or actors' performance, but because of casting mistakes and embarrassing plots.

"Love Around the Corner" focuses on the love story of middle-aged people, which seems to be an ordinary emotional drama setting, but the bold attempt in casting is a big surprise. Ming Dao and Jiang Wenli, two powerful actors, present an image that is extremely inconsistent with the characters in this drama. Mingdao's greasy feeling and Jiang Wenli's "mother's feeling" are too strong, which makes the combination of the two seem incompatible, and it is difficult for the audience to enter the play during the viewing process.

What's even more outrageous is that Zhu Yin, a veteran actor, actually wants to play Jiang Wenli's mother in the play. This kind of casting attempt across ages is undoubtedly a great challenge to the audience's aesthetics. When seeing two actors of similar age interacting as mother and daughter in the play, the audience couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and their devotion to the plot was greatly reduced.

In addition to the casting problem, the plot of "Love Around the Corner" also seems cliché and lacks novelty. From the breakdown of the heroine's marriage to the accidental cohabitation of the hero and heroine, and then to the final fall in love, the entire storyline is almost predictable, lacking enough surprises and reversals. Such a plot setting makes the audience feel bored and difficult to resonate with during the viewing process.

The failure of "Love Around the Corner" allows us to see the problems in the casting and plot of domestic dramas. While pursuing topicality and popularity, the drama party should pay more attention to the audience's feelings and aesthetic needs. Casting should not only consider the fame and traffic of the actor, but also pay attention to the fit between the actor and the role, and the plot should strive to be novel and interesting, which can arouse the audience's resonance and thinking.

I hope that future domestic dramas can learn from this lesson, put more effort into casting and plot, and create more high-quality works that the audience loves. At the same time, it is also expected that the actors can cherish their feathers more, choose the roles that suit them, and bring more wonderful performances to the audience.
